Insurance coverage basics

Learning about specific coverages of a insurance policy can be of help when determining the right coverages at the best deductibles and correct limits. Insurance terms can be confusing and reading a policy is terribly boring.

Comprehensive auto coverage – Comprehensive insurance coverage covers damage caused by mother nature, theft, vandalism and other events. You first must pay your deductible then the remaining damage will be covered by your comprehensive coverage.

Comprehensive coverage pays for things like a tree branch falling on your vehicle, vandalism, theft and hitting a bird. The most you’ll receive from a claim is the cash value of the vehicle, so if it’s not worth much more than your deductible it’s probably time to drop comprehensive insurance.

Auto liability – This provides protection from damage or injury you incur to a person or their property that is your fault. It protects YOU from legal claims by others. It does not cover damage to your own property or vehicle.

Coverage consists of three different limits, bodily injury per person, bodily injury per accident and property damage. Your policy might show liability limits of 25/50/25 that means you have $25,000 bodily injury coverage, a limit of $50,000 in injury protection per accident, and a total limit of $25,000 for damage to vehicles and property. Some companies may use a combined single limit or CSL that pays claims from the same limit without having the split limit caps.

Liability insurance covers claims like medical services, repair costs for stationary objects and funeral expenses. How much liability coverage do you need? That is a decision to put some thought into, but you should buy as much as you can afford.

Collision coverages – Collision coverage pays to fix your vehicle from damage resulting from colliding with a stationary object or other vehicle. A deductible applies and then insurance will cover the remainder.

Collision can pay for claims like colliding with another moving vehicle, hitting a parking meter and driving through your garage door. Paying for collision coverage can be pricey, so analyze the benefit of dropping coverage from vehicles that are 8 years or older. It’s also possible to increase the deductible in order to get cheaper collision rates.

UM/UIM (Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist) coverage – This coverage protects you and your vehicle’s occupants from other drivers when they either are underinsured or have no liability coverage at all. Covered claims include hospital bills for your injuries as well as your vehicle’s damage.

Since a lot of drivers only carry the minimum required liability limits, it doesn’t take a major accident to exceed their coverage limits. This is the reason having UM/UIM coverage is important protection for you and your family. Normally the UM/UIM limits are identical to your policy’s liability coverage.

Medical payments and PIP coverage – Personal Injury Protection (PIP) and medical payments coverage kick in for immediate expenses like dental work, nursing services, hospital visits, rehabilitation expenses and X-ray expenses. The coverages can be used in conjunction with a health insurance program or if there is no health insurance coverage. They cover all vehicle occupants and will also cover being hit by a car walking across the street. PIP coverage is not universally available but can be used in place of medical payments coverage
